SANDUSKY, Ohio - Recently, the Ohio Association for Justice presented Murray & Murray partner, Margaret M. Murray, with the Amicus Curiae award during a Friday, May 9th, awards ceremony at its annual statewide convention. This award was presented to commend Margaret’s outstanding service to the legal community, through her commitment to following and raising awareness of policy changing developments in the courts and how the outcomes of those pending cases may affect Ohio’s citizens.

The Ohio Association for Justice, also called OAJ, is a non-profit organization of trial lawyers, dedicated to representing the rights of consumers and injured plaintiffs to ensure that equal access to justice through the courts is available to all under Ohio law. The group is devoted to strengthening the civil justice system, so that deserving individuals may obtain justice and wrongdoers may be held accountable. The Amicus Curiae award honors one who undertakes a central role in the group’s efforts through constant vigilance as to the Ohio Supreme Court’s accepted cases and organization of advocacy efforts when pending decisions will affect Ohio citizens’ rights. The award’s name refers to a Latin legal term, meaning friend of the court, which identifies those who represent persons or a group that will be affected by a case and are chosen by a court to submit arguments in the case.

The OAJ commended Ms. Margaret Murray’s instrumental role in pursuing the group’s mission through this time-honored mechanism to respectfully notify the courts of the full scope of consequences that may arise from any given Supreme Court case opinion. Ms. Murray has long dedicated herself to remaining vigilant about important judicial developments. She was also previously presented with the OAJ Amicus Curiae award in 2010 and has served as Chair of the OAJ Amicus Curiae Committee since 2009.
